Myrtle & Soap - Plant Based Soaps

Myrtle and Soap Soap

These soaps (and I’ve been lucky enough to receive one from a friend), will honestly, want to make you wave goodbye to shower gel. Handmade in small batches from Ellie & Anastasia’s London studio using 100% plant-based butters and oils, these soaps are made in the traditional cold press method and only use essential oils and natural colourants. The soap bars are £6.60 each or you can go for one of their natural skincare sets for 4 luscious bars from £14.90.

Self Care Co. - Soy Wax Candles

Self Care Co Candle
Made using natural soy wax and essential oils only, these candles are something special, come in an array of beautiful scents, and burn for between 60-80 hours! Said in the wise words of a Self Care Co. customer, who quite frankly sums up these candles: “I have tried many candles, Neom, Diptyque, Jo Malone, but these are by far the best candles I’ve ever had. They do not give me headaches but give the most beautiful smell in my home. What a wonderful company.” £25 each.
